Types I on specific source vessel anatomy whilst Type II requires microvascular anastomosis to create the chimeric reconstructive solution.
The Vacuum Vessel is composed of two separate parts which shall be welded on site: the Beam Line Vessel (BLV) and the Beam Source Vessel (BSV).
chimera skin perforator flap with muscle being harvested on a separate branch from the source vessel or on a side branch of the skin perforator.
Finally, we design a prototype heat source vessel and demonstrate that it can be loaded completely, at temperatures below 300 °C, in less than 10 h.
The HNB Passive Magnetic Shield PMSS) works in conjunction with the active compensation/correction coils to limit the magnetic field inside the Beam Line Vessel (BLV), Beam Source Vessel (BSV), High Voltage Bushing (HVB) and Transmission Line (TL) elbow to acceptable levels that do not interfere with the operation of the HNB components.
Retrospective data were obtained from patient demographics, diagnosis, defect location, flap size, source vessel, and complications.
Purified and humidified air entered each odor source vessel at 1.2 l/min (adjusted by a manifold with six flowmeters, Analytical Research System, Gainesville, FL, USA) via Teflon tubing and carried the volatiles through to the olfactometer compartment.
Half of the air (0.6 l/min/olfactometer arm) was pulled out via volatile collection traps that were attached to a port on top of each odor source vessel (see "Collection and analyses of HIPVs").
Propeller flaps can either be based on a known source vessel or can be harvested from any anatomical region as long as a Doppler signal of a perforator is detected (free-style propeller flaps).
HIPVs of each odor source were collected during the olfactometer bioassay on a Super-Q trap (25 mg, 80-100 mesh; Alltech Associates, Deerfield, IL, USA, described by Heath & Manukian, [ 31]. Each trap was attached horizontally to the elbow of an odor source vessel and connected via Tygon tubing to a flowmeter (Analytical Research System) and a vacuum pump.
